b) solve f(x) = 1

c) find the points on the graph at this function value.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The domain is all real numbers except 3,-1.

b) The solution is x=4.

c) The point is4,1.

Step by step solution

01

(a)Step 1. Given 

The given function is fx=x+1x2-2x-3

02

Step 2. To find  

Find the domain of the function.

03

Step 3. Calculation   

For the domain, the denominator can not be 0.

x2-2x-3≠0x-3x+1≠0x≠3,-1

04

(b)Step 1. Given

The given function is fx=x+1x2-2x-3

05

Step 2. To find  

Solvefx=1.

06

Step 3. Calculation   

Set the given equation equal to 1 and solve for x.

x+1x2-2x-3=1x+1=x2-2x-3x2-3x-4=0x-4x+1=0x=4,-1

Butx≠-1, sox=4.

07

(c)Step 1. Given 

The given function is fx=x+1x2-2x-3

08

Step 2. To find  

Find the points on the graph at this function value.

09

Step 3. Calculation   

The value of x is 4.

The value of y is 1.

So, the point is4,1
